If you or someone you love suffers a personal injury, legal action is likely to follow. A personal injury lawsuit can help you recover compensation for time off work, medical bills and other unplanned costs, but the process is seldom easy. I've supported my husband through a drug-related injury for the last four years. That time has taught me a lot about the legal process, but I have also learned a great deal about how to look after somebody during this emotional time. This blog contains information about the lawsuit process, including some of the lesser known steps you may need to take. I also offer my advice to family members and friends who want to understand how to help a loved one cope with these challenging scenarios. My aim is simple. If I can help just one family cope better with this difficult time, my blog is a success.
